Title

Headquarters Building Seismic Retrofit and Parking Lot Renovation

Description

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) proposes to retrofit the existing Headquarters building to meet current seismic safety standards, and to renovate the existing parking lot serving the LACDP Headquarters facility to comply with the County of Los Angeles Standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) requirements in an effort to reduce pollution from stormwater and urban runoff. The proposed retrofit of the Headquarters building would provide the building with an external cablestayed system design, comprised of a singular structural column at each corner of the building that is structurally connected at each floor corner and tied together by tension cables. The renovated parking lot would provide improved parking, access, and circulation for the facility, and demonstrate simple and economical methods to reduce pollution from stormwater and urban runoff. The LACDPW Headquarters facility would remain open through construction of both phases of the proposed project.
